Trust me, even in death, Mitch McConnell deserves every bit of ire that can be directed his way. Just to name a few egregious examples of his contributions as a senator, he’s responsible for blocking Obama’s appointment of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court in 2016 because 8 months was “too close to an election.” Yet, he’s also responsible for rushing through trump’s SC appointment with less than 3 months to spare before the 2020 election. In other words, McConnell’s inconsistent and ideologically-biased application of non-existent rules is directly responsible for the 6-3 conservative majority on the Scotus which has done so much harm including but not limited to letting trump walk free of his crimes and granting him this phony “presidential immunity,” among other atrocious distortions of the constitution as written. Oh, and McConnell is also directly responsible for refusing to convict trump in 2021, in the aftermath of Jan6. Yeah, McConnell can rot for all I care.

    Dont forget the decades of filibustering he did to basically keep congress in gridlock. Every time the democrats had even a sliver of a majority. And after he blocked legislation he would turn around and condemn the progressives for their lack of action. Before identity politics and sound bites there was Mitch fucking McConnell being an evil shit.
